KIMMICH: THINGS COULD GO WRONG
Joshua Kimmich, one of the captains of the German national team, also commented on the incident. The experienced player said, "We saw a snake yesterday, and we were told it is venomous. If you get bitten, you need to go to the hospital. I don't think we'll die from it, but it is definitely dangerous. If you step on such a snake, things could go wrong."
